Fact Check: Why isn't Maneater multiplayer? Platforms, cross-play details and more revealed

sportskeeda.com:

One of the most common requests from players when Maneater was released back in 2020, was the option of multiplayer mechanics. Many wondered if Tripwire Interactive's revenge game would be available to play with friends given the developers already have a highly popular multiplayer game in Rising Story 2: Vietnam.

The tongue-in-cheek shark simulation, replete with pop-cultural references, Maneater, is currently being offered for free for players to pick up on the Epic Games Store.

True to its name, players will be controlling a bull shark who is vociferously hungry to chomp on some human flesh. The animal must adapt to survive in the open world as she seeks to take revenge on the fisherman who killed her mother.

This article will explore aspects of Maneater's multiplayer, platforms, DLC details, and more.

Although there has been a lot of interest from players regarding any possible multiplayer mode for the title, there has sadly been no development on that front. Back in 2020, the developers of the game responded to a tweet asking the same question, stating that there were no plans for a co-op and were instead focusing on creating and prototyping future content.

The game has been created with a single-player experience in mind with its own narrative to follow. The game world is large and features enough diversity in aesthetics and variety for players to deep dive in. The gameplay lasts for around 13-14 hours.

This explains why the developers do not have any multiplayer mode in the game or any such plans when they last spoke on it.

The official description of Maneater involves providing players with the ultimate power fantasy of being the apex predator of the sea. They will start off as a small shark pup in the open world
